Decentraland: How to differentiate reality from virtual

The metaverse: erasing the distinction between real & virtual?

It in an interesting new frontier:

- CGI models: no tantrums or special treatments

- A world that mirrors the real world, or not > you are free to choose

- An extension of the "market" for products

- Possibility of learning, teaching & training creatively

- Never grow old & and look the way you want all the time!

- "Feel" as you would in the real world, using haptic devices

Some legal issues may arise:

- intellectual property ownership, especially for fan-created content

- if 'harm' is done online, will it be legally actionable offline?

- what rights of 'ownership' exist in the metaverse (or what is "property"?)

Personally I think the metaverse will be an interesting platform, filled with possibilities.

Although a unified law is ideal, it may not be fully possible. Look at the Internet and talks about "sovereignty" (should the Internet have a common law?) > it may not ever happen because the Internet is better off not defined by the idea of "State" > it is borderless and shall remain so forever.
